I'm not sure what're you're asking.  There's a sample name field in the file 
in SMPL, to rewrite that you'd have to rewrite pretty much the whole file.  
Most of the time I found it easier to re-export the data from the instrument.

But if you're parsing the name of the file for info (frequently done as 
grubbing in the file is a PITA) then you can usually simply change the file 
name.
